Perfect Vacation Home

We were two families with three children and this was the perfect spot for everyone. The kids loved exploring the property, playing with the animals, looking for the largest lizard and spending HOURS in the pool. Each morning started off with an incredible snorkeling adventure right off the dock. After exploring the island we would come "home" and have a wonderful meal made by Rosa. Our favorite was the Gruper fish that was caught that morning and a close second was pizza night. Their boat the Shaya Manzi is a must do with a trip to Jade Beach with Captain Terry. Having use of the van that had room for all 7 of us was invaluable as we were able to explore the island from one end to the other. The house is gorgeous, the staff attentive when needed, and nothing could beat the view of the sun setting each night. A great week was had by all!More

I had first been to Roatan on a cruise a few years ago and decided I needed to come back and spend much more than a day there. 2012 was the year! So I enlisted a group of family and embarked on about 4 weeks of research for a house to rent. Fuego Del Mar was actually the very first site I landed on in my search so I book marked it and moved on. After 4 weeks, Fuego won out, and I don't regret the decision for a second. We were greeted at the airport and taken to the grocery store to purchase food and goodies. When we got to the house all 7 of us were truly blown away. The pictures just don't do it justice. Absolutely breathtaking, the view, the house, just everything. We wasted no time enlisting the resident cook to cook dinner for us all week and it was fantastic! There was a meal that we thought was even just OK every meal Rosa made was absolutely delicious. The staff was wonderful and we all felt very safe there. We spent a few days doing tours (see my other reviews) and a few days lounging around the pool, reading, swimming and just enjoying family. My only con was not having AC in all the bedrooms. Two of the rooms had it but the other two rooms didn't. For those of us North West folks who don't deal with humidity sometimes it was hard to sleep at night because of the heat. Other than that it was fantastic. Our family snorkeled off the dock and spent a ton of time in the pool. I also highly recommend doing pizza night with them. :) It was delicious! I hope to go back in a year or so. It was well priced and a wonderful house, beautiful grounds, lovely accommodations, excellent staff (and pets), Definitely one of my top vacations!

When I saw Fuego Del Mar I flipped. The price was great and the pictures sold me. I knew by the map that the Fuego compound was a bit out of town, but I didn't care. I loved the property and I wanted to dive head first into the experience. I decided to stay 3 nights at the Infinity Bay Resort (which is to "die" for) so I could be close to West End. From there I booked Bruce's "Fuego Del Mar" for an entire week. I went to Brown rentals and secured 3 ATV's and 2 scooters.They could not deliver them so we road them back to the house. We had them at our disposal the entire week. I also rented a van , but we barely used it. Making our way around the island on scooters and ATV's was a complete blast!! The roads are very safe and you can ride them anywhere on the island. However..... If you do rent scooters, be careful on the gravel roads. My son was going way too fast and he fell and broke his ankle.

We absolutely loved Fuego Del Mar. The price for what you get is insain. I just got back from Barbados....$$$$$$ I know! Roatan is a real "jungle island" experience and Fuego is just the place to relish in it. This house is not a home....it's a compound! The way the house is arranged, the setting , the ambience, the gardens, views and the rest will astound you. I have taken my family on tropical vacations once a year for 17 years. To this day our entire family talks about the great time we had at Fuego Del Mar. I have stayed in many lovely homes but Fuego is more of an experience. Imagine waking up every morning and standing naked under an outdoor rock shower facing the ocean views! What a way to start your day!

There is a reef right off the pool area. Many mornings when the ocean was calm, my older son would take the canoe out there and snorkel. We rented their fishing boat, (if it's still there ) and Bruce's son took us out to a private island for the day where we lounged on a white sand beach and viewed the under water marine life on a reef just off shore.

Rosa is very sweet as is the entire staff. I grabbed a massage from a little local girl who came to the compound where Bruce has constructed a Spa on top of a small creek. You can view the ocean while the sound of the creek is soothing your soul. To this day I tell people "that" massage I got from that tiny little girl was the best massage I've ever had.

Don't throw this opportunity away. I've been lucky enough to have visited some pretty amazing places. If you read my other reviews you will see that I am not that easy to impress and I have let a few people "have it" when I arrived and things were not as promised. Try to remember that you are traveling to a Central American country. Not everything is going to be perfect and weather patterns can vary.

Fuego Del Mar will stay in my heart forever and is one that is at the top of my list. xoxo
